    I don't know about the French ones but I couldn't see the dates on all of the german.

    If they are from the early 40's they are not worth much as they had the brilliant idea to print more bills to make more money driving the bills' worth down.

    Some nice looking notes there and ok they are not worth a fortune but still are nice :D The 1st German is a allied occupation note and the French are also allied notes. then you have a Belgian one LOL

    Bit of history on the Allied ones

    France, Operation Tom Cat

    There were two issues for use in allied controlled areas of occupation. The first issue is known as, "supplemental" and has a french flag on the reverse. These notes were issued in denominations of, 2,5,10,50,100,500, and 1000 Francs.

    The second issue, known as the "Provisional" issue replaced the first issue in June 1945. These notes have, "France" Printed on the reverse and were issued in denominations of, 50,100, and 1000 Francs. The 2,5, and 10 Franc supplemental notes remained in circulation with the Provisionals until late 1946and in the case of the 50 and 100 Franc notes till 1948.


    Germany, Operation Wild Dog

    There was one issue of this series printed by both the U.S. for allied use and the USSR for use on their side of the joint occupation of Germany. All notes are in denominations of 1/2, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 Mark. These notes circulated through mid 1948. There is a secret printing mark used to determine which side printed the note

    I put the dates on there.most are before the 40's from 1908 to 1920dose that make them not worth anything?

    Lets see I just bought two from 1910 for $2 and am bidding on a few others from 1908 to 1914 at the moment all very low. They are worth a bit if they are in pristine condition but the thing is why not collect them, they make a lovely start to a note collection and the art work is superb

    Besides it holds history. :D And the cool thing about foreign is that it is cheap & beautiful.

    Granted there are some pricey one but for the most part it's pretty cheap.

    U.S. printed notes feature an "f".... Russian printed notes have no such mark.
